Cleo Legal Data Atlas

Overview

Cleo Legal Data Atlas is a legal data API platform that packages open legal sources into machine-readable catalogs. The homepage describes it as a REST API plus MCP connector for querying legal regulations, sources, jurisdictions, and product categories across 177 jurisdictions.

The platform is organized into three related atlas views. Legal Atlas covers cross-topic law, Product Compliance Atlas focuses on physical-product regulations, and HS Code API handles customs classification, duties, landed cost, dual-use screening, and sanctions checks in one workflow.

Core capabilities

Authenticated legal data API

Query legal regulations, sources, jurisdictions, and product categories through a REST API, with example calls shown for `/v1/regulations` and a Playground for trying requests before using a key.

MCP connector support

Use the MCP connector to bring the data into AI tools such as Claude or Cursor, alongside direct API access for applications and monitoring workflows.

Targeted filtering and refreshed data

Filter results by jurisdiction, product category, or enforcement body, and receive structured source data that is refreshed continuously from the catalog.

Multiple atlas views

Work with three catalog views: the cross-topic Legal Atlas, the Product Compliance Atlas for physical products, and the HS Code API for customs and trade workflows.

No-key Playground

Use the Playground to compose calls, generate curl snippets, and inspect sample JSON responses without needing an API key.

Tiered operational features

Choose a plan with monthly quotas, then scale up to webhooks, analytics, custom rate limits, SLA-backed support, and deployment options on higher tiers.

Where it fits

  • Legal research automation

    Integrate legal lookups into a product, internal tool, or monitoring pipeline that needs machine-readable regulations and source links instead of manual research.

  • Product compliance checks

    Use the Product Compliance Atlas to check physical products against country requirements when managing cosmetics, electronics, toys, food, apparel, or similar categories.

  • Cross-border trade operations

    Classify goods, estimate duties and landed cost, and screen dual-use or sanctions exposure in a single customs workflow.

  • AI-assisted workflows

    Expose the data to AI assistants or agent workflows through the MCP connector so tools like Claude or Cursor can call the catalog directly.

  • API evaluation and prototyping

    Use the Playground and sample curl output to validate an integration idea, inspect response shapes, and compare plan fit before committing to a paid tier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Covers multiple legal workflows in one product family, including general law, product compliance, and customs classification.
  • Offers a free Playground for evaluation before requesting an API key.
  • Provides structured responses and example requests, which makes the API easier to inspect before integration.
  • Publishes plan tiers and operational details such as webhooks, analytics, SLA-backed support, and DPA availability on higher plans.

Cons

  • Some documentation details are only visible through the product pages and pricing copy, so the public page leaves setup and implementation specifics limited.
  • The product pages note that some answers depend on plan tier, and the public FAQ does not fully spell out every quota or definition.
